The 3-page story "You'll Know No Rest" is one of eight stories that Steve Ditko did for ACG circa 1966, all inked by Sal Trapani and written (under various pseudonyms, this time "Karuto Osaki") by Richard Hughes.
It was published in Forbidden Worlds #138 [1966], and feature the story of Captain Jabez Green, an 19th century whaler, who lost his beloved wife Emily early in life, erecting a statue of her on her gravesite. Eventually in the Civil War he drowns on a mission for the Union navy, but is cursed by his adversary to wander the Earth with no memory, which he proceeds to do for over a century, indeed until the very year this comic was published, when fate intercedes.
A very nice story, very dense in its three pages and gives a lot of interesting things for Ditko and Trapani to draw. Might be my favourite of the Ditko ACG stories.
